It was a bit of an adventure getting a cab from the Train Station since the driver didn't know how to get to the hotel and dropped us off a couple of blocks from the hotel and told us to walk the rest of the way... Getting to the hotel itself, its clearly not a Marriott or Hilton. This is a neighborhoods built in the 1600s, so the buildings and streets are old, tight, and rustic. The entire neighborhood is like that. Once you get used to the narrow stone streets, and wild car and moped traffic, its quite entertaining and fun. That said, and expectations in check, it was a wonderful stay in the heart of a vibrant part of Naples.|We had communicated with Marco through Booking.com who welcomed us to the hotel and provided us with information prior to our arrival. Check in with Marco was perfect and quick as we were tired from our day of travel. Our room was recently renovated as the widows kept most of the noise of the street to a whisper for a good night's sleep. The bathroom was renovated as well and had good hot water and pressure. Everything was very clean and in good working order. As we went in November, being able to keep the temperature at night at a comfortable level was great. Two other hotels we stayed at on this trip did not have heat available yet, and offered us blankets instead of heat.|There is so much to do in that area of Naples during the day and at night. There are so many great places to eat. We walked around for hours through the lively streets. Marco gave us some great restaurants nearby for our suppers and his recommendations were spot on with great meals. He helped me book a room at our next stop. He even called the hotel in Sorrento and got me a better price. At 4/5 star hotels, the reception won't do that for you..|We stayed two days and both days we really enjoyed the breakfast. It wasn't just pastries and bread but had eggs, various cheeses, meats, tea, coffee at will...very good for a small hotel. |Check out was simple and quick as well. A taxi did pick us up at the hotel to take us to the train station.|All and all, a very good location in a fun and vibrant part of town, comfortable and very clean room, with great support of the staff before, during, and beyond our stay. I enjoyed my long conversations with Marco about solving world problems!
